However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

DW Collector's Series drums are handcrafted in Oxnard, California, offering a fully custom drumming experience. At the heart of the Collector's Series is DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC), which layers wood plies in different grain orientations to optimise tone and resonance. Players can choose from a range of premium wood options, including Pure Maple, Birch, and Cherry, each bringing its own character to the sound. Hybrid shell options, such as Maple/Mahogany, combine tonal qualities for unique sonic versatility.
Drummers can also select their preferred shell sizes, finishes, and hardware colours to create a truly personal kit. Finish options range from high-gloss lacquer to durable FinishPly wraps, with an array of exotic veneers and custom graphics available. Designed for both stage and studio, the Collector’s Series offers configurations tailored to different musical styles. From the warm, refined tones of Jazz shells to the classic punch of Santa Monica kits, there's a setup for every player.
All of our in-stock DW Collectors Series kits have been individually chosen and photographed by Gear4music, so boxes will have been opened and resealed for this reason only.
DW’s Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) expertly layers maple plies with horizontal, vertical, and diagonal grain orientations. This thoughtful construction lowers the fundamental pitch and maximises resonance, giving each drum a warm, full-bodied tone that adapts easily to different musical settings. Whether you’re playing live or recording in the studio, the SSC design ensures your drums always sound their best.
Each shell is handcrafted by artisans at the DW California Custom Shop, ensuring top-end quality and consistency. The maple construction offers a balanced tonal spectrum, with crisp highs, strong mids, and punchy lows. Thanks to DW’s meticulous craftsmanship, these drums feel alive under your sticks, responding to every nuance of your playing.
The Black Ice FinishPly doesn’t just look bold—it’s built to withstand the rigours of touring and regular use. This durable outer layer protects the shell while maintaining the sophisticated visual flair DW is known for. Combined with chrome hardware, the finish gives the kit a clean, contemporary look that suits any stage or studio setup.
The included STM (Suspension Tom Mount) system allows the 12'' rack tom to vibrate freely without unnecessary hardware dampening its natural tone. This ensures maximum resonance, improved sustain, and a more open sound. It’s an essential feature for players who demand the clearest, most natural tom voice possible from their setup.
